Are there recipes that you hold dear? I'm sure there are - below is one of my favorites.

I have a fondness for this cake because it reminds me of Christmas when I was growing up. Right before Christmas every year, my Mom would make this wonderful cake.

The excitement of Christmas would build for me because the sight and smell of this cake meant Christmas morning was getting closer and closer.

My Mom still makes this cake at Christmas time every year. She also faithfully makes it for her brother-in-law before he and my aunt head off to Florida for the winter. He just loves this cake.

Don't get me wrong, this cake is to be enjoyed all-year-round, not just for the holidays.

Bake one, and then invite some family or friends over to share it. Enjoy!
